From: GC content around splice sites affects splicing through pre-mRNA secondary structures

Figure 6

Comparison of GC percentage around real (red lines) and decoy (black) splice sites in humans. In general, the sequences around the real splice sites in humans were more GC enriched compared to the decoy ones (0.50 vs. 0.48 at the donor sites, 0.47 vs. 0.46 at the acceptor sites, Wilcoxon tests, P < 2.2 × 10-16). In addition, the exonic regions near the real splice sites were more enriched in GC compared to regions far away from the junctions, while no such enrichment has been observed near the decoy splice sites.
